Nice team overview
Nice come into Wednesday's Coupe de France contest after sharing four goals in a Ligue 1 contest against Brest last weekend. Two goals down at the break, second-half strikes from Ali Abdi and Elye Wahi rescued a point for OGC.
Claude Puel's side have been in decent form in the past month, picking up three wins and three draws from their eight most recent fixtures. Seven of those games finished with BTTS while five games, including four of their five most recent fixtures, also finished with at least three goals scored.

Montpellier team overview
Montpellier arrive at the Allianz Riviera after an impressive 3:1 win against Guingamp last weekend. Alexandre Mendy scored two penalties in the second period to secure an excellent comeback victory for La Paillade.
A lack of consistency has been the biggest issue for Zoumana Camara's side. Montpellier won five and lost four of their last ten fixtures.
Usually a reliable choice to score, the visitors scored at least one goal in seven of nine previous games, while three of their five most recent fixtures finished with at least three goals scored.
Nice should have enough quality to take care of their Ligue 2 visitors on Wednesday. Montpellier lost four of their last ten away fixtures, while they failed to win all but one of their last nine games against Nice.
